Read it either way. It is indeed, but this is a shorthand representation of the date and not a binary numeral which would be as Dave Webster points out (read from the right, of course). For palindrome aficionados the really interesting moment this year will be one minute after 11 AM on November 11 of this year MMHHDDMMYY = 0111111110 Although one minute after after 8 PM on February 22 will also be of interest: MMHHDDMMYY = 0120220210 I'll leave it to interested readers to come up with other palindromic moments for this upcoming year. Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?
